Daughters of Jubilation by Kara Lee Corthron
2.75
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is very well written with a great fleshed out cast that has very distinct voices. 
I really enjoyed the main character as well as all the supporting characters. I enjoyed seeing all the side character interactions in addition to the main plot. I loved everything about this book except for the ending.
I saw no need fo  the second rape at the end, and also the death of Clay, it just seemed completely unnecessary


Basically I feel like ending was traumatic just for the sake of being traumatic with no other reason for it. 

I would have given this 5 stars if not for the ending.
